I think each cover of any songs from The Smiths only remind us how great they are.

[raffael]

horrible...horrible

[Urban the swede]

Drinking cranberry juice is very healthy as it contains the most powerful of antioxidants. Love the stuff and I drink loads every day.

Is the band still around?

[orestes3009]

A wonderful attempt

[eugenius]

The Cranberries have always been insufferable.

[Anonymous]

Do they have to, do they have to, do they have to let it linger.

The singers voice screams 1995 when they were big.

[Anonymous]

Quite enjoyed that. They didn't mess about with it or change it up too much.

[chrisarclark]

not all bad, but the chorus is terrible.

[Anonymous]

That woman's got a massive head.

[Amy]

Her accent is incredibly strong, it just mangles the lyrics until they're barely recognisable. The chorus is puzzling too - it seems like she doesn't trust herself to hit the high notes.

[King Leer]

It's got some nice moments and some cackhanded ones. In general I never minded her voice. They were a fairly memorable part of 90s music.

[leedoggpimp]

dolores' voice went to shit... too many blowjobs i guess.

[DeckardtheReplicant]

I am not even going to listen to this, I already know it will be terrible. The cranberries are a dreadful band. Dolores O Riordan is nothing but a Limerick knacker with a voice that causes ears to bleed. Why isnt she dead yet?

[Anonymous]

That was shit - they were always dire though

[Anonymous]

They were big in the 90s and they still are great. Stop being fucking lazy bones and writing stupid insults against the band. The Cranberries are not doing a come back as they never broke up. They just stop doing music for a while for personal reasons. I am glad they are still doing music!! It's rather stupid to direct insults to them for being older and still making music when you don't go against Morrissey for the same reason. Music have not age! Also, what's wrong with accents? Do all have to sing in a boring perfect Southern England accent? Good for The Cranberries!!

[wemissumoz]

Pretty good. I think she's saving her voice on the high notes. She can still hit them in concert and it's not worth blowing out her voice for a radio show.

[Anonymous]

There is a loight...

[GarethKeenan]

It would be difficult to find a reason compelling enough to see that band live. Their first album was decent, and sort of started a long march downhill from there. Most notably, she had the habit of absolutely destroying a half-decent song with one or two really horrible lines in the lyrics.

Also, is it just me, or does it now look like she's twins with the lead singer of Green Day?

[Dave2006]

The phrase 'in session' is a broad term. In my mind it conjurers up an image of a recording studio, with some studio engineers, in close vicinity to a radio station where a band lay down a live track. Whereas this looks like the band turned up for an interview and the DJ thought 'hang on, we have a couple of microphones, you have some guitars, go on, perform'. I doubt there was a sound check, the singer and the band don't look comfortable, non of them have headphones... doomed.

didn't read anything they were still around, or had a 10 year sabatical, and
busy recoding a new album

how can they, out of the blue get a deal, and Morrissey with releases and touring not, or
he doesn't want what they offered him

[Anonymous]

Remember when you werea a teen in the 90's and she was hot and you'd wank off to her yodeling in "Zombie". Now she looks like some Oirish house frow. Oh, the shame!

[Anonymous]

Truly execrable. I'd rather lick the walls clean of a prison dirty protest than listen to this again.

[Retired Whore]

Unbearable. Heaven knows I'm miserable now. I really wish a double-decker bus crashes into her. Really hard.

[Anonymous]

Loing in my bed at noight

[9 x Fined]

How can they even still be around?

"YOUNG AND ALOOOOOIVE"


Ghastly

[Anonymous]

The light went out.
Thanks, Cranberries.

[Your Mother!]

Oh sure.....as if any good band needs the ample support from the vermin that regularly post on here. If you should feel compelled enough to keep posting as such, you are only proving the point.

What a frightful performance! What on earth is she doing on the high notes? If she can't reach them then maybe she should cover 'I was born under a wandering star'. They were always shite and still are it appears.

[Anonymous]

More covers of the world's favorite Smith song....

[Anonymous]

Is it just me or is the times truly over when the irish charmed the world musically and otherwise?

Seems that they are not in such high demand or held in high regard like in the past.

[Anonymous]

Wow lots of negativity here, but I really enjoyed their cover. I forgot how much I liked her voice in the 90s. Welcome back Cranberries!

you're a moron!

why aren't you dead yet? you clearly are a moron and far from a critic.

Their cover version IS shite, though. And she really does have a massive head.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry - and I'm not against trying - but come on, it's TOO slow.

And percussion ?

Still it's better without drums.
